OMG!

Ladies and Gents,

Drew Stafford is ALIVE!

Thanks to my constant google-ness, I was directed to the Minnesota Wild site (wtf) to watch a video about a recent reunion hockey game in Minnesota. I watched it strictly for proof that he is indeed alive, not thinking I would get much out of it.

But sure enough, the first person to pop up…

This guy!

He seemed happy and…well, alive.

I got so excited, I threw my shoe…

and since Shelby wasn’t wearing any, I threw my other one for her…

Also making an appearance at this game, fellow talented RFA…

I cannot tell what he’s doing with his face….I want to say he’s…smiling?

I think he is! Very anti-Thomas Vanek, but very nice to see! (Random site note, I LOVE Ryan Malone).

Good to know these boys are in good shape! Now if only SOMEONE would sign a contract. In the meantime, perhaps we can put TMP on hold…no?

Toni!

Not really.

I’m under instruction to make a list of the top 5 (hence Toni) things that made me laugh while working with the sabres.

So far, I only have three.

1.) Larry Quinn and the pizza*
2.) Making Thomas Vanek laugh. Really hard.
3.) Drew Stafford and the light bulbs **

* When I worked at the Puck Drop, I was often left standing alone in places, cold and confused (not to mention, sick). At one point, Larry Quinn was eating some of the pizza that had been brought. He was told, very firmly, that they were going to Chefs. He said ‘ okay’ with a mouth full of pizza and continued eating. I found it amusing. Maybe you just had to be there?

** Another time I was in the locker room with my boss. There was a worker guy there fixing some of the lights in the room. Anyways, Drew was standing under a light, fiddling with something, not paying attention. And Lindy pointed to the light above him (to tell which one needed to be fixed) and said ” that’s the one that’s not too bright.” …Drew thought Lindy was referring to him.

And making Vanek laugh is something the Nobel Peace Prizes should be awarded for. Though I can’t really remember what I did.

In other non-lame news, while swimming today, I spent a lot of time sitting on the step next to a hot water jet. I figured myself to be boring and useless until I realized that, at July 3rd, I was doing more than Darcy Reiger. Much more.

Seriously, the Habs are going to get everyone (since they kind of have). They’re going to take Drew…and Kaleta…and Ellis. They already took Jaro! Hell, they can take Vanek or Miller without us noticing. Or Pominville…not like I’d go fighting for him back.

I suppose with so many free agents, they can do this. What’s it called…cap space? Ohhh it’s been too long.

In a random closing note, it was just brought to my attention that Toni’s arena portrait…that I have photographic evidence of, and love (it’s the hair, he should reconsider that), and have seen NUMEROUS times because I am cheap…

HAS HIS NAME SPELLED WRONG!

son of a bitch!

He probably thinks its funny…

It is.
